A Ning kind of War of the Worlds
Ning.com allows non-programmers the ability to quickly create a wide variety of online services. Programmers can tweak the PHP-powered apps. Will admit when I first saw the service I didn’t think it would last very long, but they’ve managed to stay alive by marketing themselves as a quick and dirty way to setup your own social network. Occasionally I see a Ning cloned app that makes me smile.

For example, in War of the Worlds, don’t think H.G Wells, but instead hot or not meets the MMO / virtual world space. Vote for the virtual worlds you like best. It’s a fun break time distraction. You can cycle through the list of less than 100 worlds in a short amount of time. No cookies or anything, but it might expose you to a few MMOs you weren’t familiar with, which is the underlying payoff.
